Joshua Brown established the first settlement in 1846, leading to the county's formation in 1856. This early colonization followed centuries of inhabitation by Native peoples.
The Kerrville Folk Festival each year brings people together to hear traditional Texas music performed outdoors. This gathering has made music a central part of how locals and visitors experience the region.
